The labs and the hands on exercises are very very good. In general it's a good mix between theory and practical hand-on exercises.

Focused content. Kubernetes is a huge huge platform, and even after working with it for a while, can still seem like a black box. This course has definitely helped me understand how the pieces fit together.

It is self-paced and well-written. The material was easy to ingest, and I have a notebook full of good notes taken directly from the course modules.

Bite-sized sections allow for flexible time management. Course covers most of the major topics needed to get off the ground as a k8s application developer.

I liked the multiple ways of transferring knowledge by using different media, also the exercises and the domain review.
Apr 2020
It covered a wide range of topics at a depth useful to an application developer. It was informative about the current state of Kubernetes and up front about how quickly the ecosystem is moving. I felt informed about not only Kubernetes but all of the technologies surrounding it as well. The hands-on labs were invaluable for learning the CLI, and there was always more reading available. I really appreciated that this course was geared towards learning and content instead of the exam.

Hands on applicability, the labs. Loved the addition of the domain review labs, was struggling with reviewing for the exam.
Mar 2020
The labs were very useful in ensuring a practical approach was taken, and that real-life configuration of Kubernetes was understandable.
Feb 2020
I liked that important things were in bold, just like in a textbook. So it was easy to take notes and improve retention of important concepts. I also appreciated that the labs were so thorough and used Linux tools rather than third-party software.
Feb 2020
The labs do delve deep into some specifics, allowing you the chance to go beyond what the documentation provides.
